BRENTWOOD, Tenn., March 18, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare has announced the expansion of STR Behavioral Health with the opening of Cedar Creek, a residential treatment facility in Pennsylvania, set to begin operations in the second half of the year. This development is part of Odyssey's ongoing efforts to improve mental health care accessibility and quality in the region, responding to the growing demand for residential mental health treatment services.
Recent statistics from the National Alliance on Mental Illness highlight the critical need for such services in Pennsylvania, where nearly 20% of adults are affected by a mental health condition and a significant portion report difficulties in accessing necessary therapy.
Richard Clark, CEO of Odyssey, emphasized the importance of the expansion, stating, “Pennsylvania and the surrounding region continue to experience an increasing demand for residential mental health treatment services, and STR Behavioral Health is leading the charge in addressing this unmet need.”
In recent years, STR Behavioral Health has taken significant steps to fill the treatment gap in the region, including the addition of a detoxification wing in 2022 and the expansion of outpatient services in 2023. The organization has also focused on supporting veterans through its Silver Pines campus, which is an approved provider of the VA Community Care Network and has been certified as a Veteran Ready Healthcare Organization by PsychArmor.
The new facility, located 30 miles outside of Philadelphia in Bucks County, will offer a 30-bed capacity designed for intimate and personalized care. It aims to provide an ideal client-to-clinician ratio for individualized attention, support, and holistic recovery. The commitment to in-network coverage with major insurance providers is a testament to STR Behavioral Health's dedication to making high-quality mental health care more accessible.
Cory Cooper, CEO of STR Behavioral Health, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “STR Behavioral Health has become an invaluable partner to acute hospitals and outpatient providers, and we’re bridging the current gap in mental health care in Pennsylvania.”
